E Honda, are you are wizard?
No, but I look like one some mornings!
It can be hard to diagnose things without seeing/hearing it, but in my experience wheel bearings can "drone" and rumble and generally drive you nuts with the (volume of) noise they make and the vibration. Also you did mention one was earmarked as needing replacing ASAP. Despite it being at the other end of the car, sometimes those sorts of noises appear to come from somewhere else. Many times I've tried to work it out whilst driving and it's only when I jack the thing up to spin the wheel that I confirm which side/end it is.
So in a nutshell, I just got lucky.
Now having had a chance to look at the two vids, It does sound better in the second, but it still doesn't sound right. Perhaps it's the microphone on the recording equipment, but the first thing I would question, is "when was it last serviced?" or perhaps I should re-phrase that as "when was it last
really serviced for sure?"
When it's still warm, and just back in from a run. Take one of the easier to reach front spark plugs out and pop a picture up. Take care putting it back, not to cross-thread it and also take care not to over-tighten it. (Finger tight + about 1/2 turn more)
You may get some impression of when they were last out just by looking at them. I've not changed a set yet, but it's not unknown for a lazy/unwitting mechanic just to change the front set than going to all the trouble and faff of doing the job properly and do the (harder to reach) back 4 too. They are meant to be changed every 25k.
In other words, a simple service might not go amiss. (I must go and do mine instead of talking about it
)
